Why it matters: - The new pass gives Powell River travelers a predictable price for frequent trips on a route that serves commuters, locals and seasonal travelers. - Harbour Air is positioning the offer as a simpler option for people who want to avoid last-minute fares and keep travel costs fixed. - The pass also adds to Harbour Air’s broader commuter and travel-pass lineup across its coastal network.
